Known for his roles in The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, Now You See Him, Now You Don't, The Strongest Man in the World, and Silkwood, Kurt Russell is an actor who catapulted to massive stardom decades ago.

Russell and Hawn first crossed paths on the sets of the 1968 live-action movie musical The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band. Though the two left a strong first impression on each other, it certainly wasn't love at first sight.
